Man, I need to read that book. I saw a page from the middle of it and it looked so confusing.

I've finally read through all the Mistborn books, including 'The Alloy of Law'. Especially that last one is now one of my favorite books.

Cowboys and magic blend well together in Sanderson's world.

I picked up Clash of Kings again I guess. Sansa is pretty boring.

Could someone recommend me something in a medieval fantasy setting, maybe revolving around magic or a mystery?

Game of Thrones is pretty good.

Sansa suffers from what several other characters will go through later, in that she doesn't really do anything. She's mostly there to show you what's going on in King's Landing in certain ways.

Having a friend go through House of Leaves. It's hilarious to see him get more and more mind-fucked.

Why is it that anyone who DOESN'T type it like that must be blasphemous.

I'm reading a book caled Elsewhere, apparently its very good due to all the people coming up to me and telling how much they loved it while they were reading it.

Reading this book makes me want to punch the protagonist for being stupid and kill myself.

I recommend this book to anyone, whether you are aware of Karl or not. Featuring such quotes as:

Pilkington, Karl; Ricky Gervais; Stephen Merchant (2010-09-03). An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington (Kindle Locations 131-132). Canongate Books. Kindle Edition. wrote:

My mam told me not to tell many people about not being christened, as she said I would be a prime target for witches. To this day I don’t know what she meant by that.

Pilkington, Karl; Ricky Gervais; Stephen Merchant (2010-09-03). An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington (Kindle Locations 1098-1100). Canongate Books. Kindle Edition. wrote:

I noticed a sign stating that toilet paper should be put in the bin and NOT DOWN THE TOILET. I think we should do this at home. We would get fewer criminals nicking people’s identities if they had to rummage through bin bags full of used toilet tissue.

and of course:

Pilkington, Karl; Ricky Gervais; Stephen Merchant (2010-09-03). An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington (Kindle Locations 916-917). Canongate Books. Kindle Edition. wrote:

I think the man he was sat with felt left out and wanted some attention. I say this ’cos he suddenly got up and wrapped his knob and bollocks around his walking stick and then jumped up and down.

Karl was sent to the Kumbh Mela festival in India, and went to speak with what he called "The Elephant Head Baba" (maybe NMS). Knob wrapping happened.

Quote:

It was definitely one of the strangest moments of my life – sat in India with a man with the head of an elephant while his mate twisted his tackle around a stick. There you go, Steve. I’ve broadened my mind.

Guys I need to read another piece of classic literature, preferably American I guess?

How long is Of Mice and Men?

It's pretty short and easy to read, if I recall correctly.

creakyAccordion · **Posted:** Tue Apr 17, 2012 6:26 pm

Because I've heard it's actually a novella, and an incredibly short one at that. Though I might be wrong, I just want to make sure it's long enough to do a proper book report on.

Ersatz · **Joined:** Tue Sep 14, 2010 3:52 pm **Posts:** 2278

I think it is. It's long enough to have chapters, at least.

Alright sweet, I'll pick it up tomorrow.
